If you're a woman with about 25% body fat....

carolann_22 · March 2012

Are you happy with that body fat percentage? I did a calculator with my current measurments to get my current body fat percentage (scary!) then it told me what my goal weight should be based on my desired body fat percentage. At first I did 30% but the weight was really high so then I chose 25% and my goal weight according to that was still way over BMI upper levels. Just wondering what 25% body fat on a woman looks like, so confused...

I was 25% now I'm 22% but I still have plenty of fat on me. Here's a link that shows you a guideline in pictures though: http://getthinandstaythin.com/how-much-should-i-weigh

If you want to see a visual of what 25% looks like, take a look at this:

Most calculators online are incredibly inaccurate. A DEXA scan can give you a much more accurate reading.

i've done the electric type of body fat % indictator and the Bod pod type, and they were both pretty close.

However, last time I was checked, I was 23% and I looked nothing like the 25% picture. I don't look that soft
